As you age, the collagen in your face depletes and wrinkles form from repetitive facial expressions. To keep a youthful look, there are many treatments that exist to correct the visible signs of aging but there are risks associated with these treatments of rejection as the body is very particular about what it will accept. One new treatment is the “vampire facelift” which uses autologous material from the patient, avoiding the chance of rejection.

Vampire facelift or the platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment has been creating waves in the beauty industry. More so, after Kim Kardashian tried it in her much publicised reality TV show. The treatment though painful, holds the elixir to youthful-looking skin. We ask cosmetic dermatologist Dr Jaishree Sharad more about this treatment.

What is the vampire facelift?

PRP or the vampire facelift is so called because your own blood is taken and after separation of different constituents, the plasma with the platelets is reinjected into the skin. PRP has a long history of being used in orthopaedic medicine, dentistry, and reconstructive surgery, and now its benefits are being applied to other fields of medicine such as dermatology and cosmetology as this plasma is rich in platelets (platelet-rich plasma or PRP) and it contains growth factors which stimulate skin regeneration.

Platelets are an important component in our blood and are necessary for normal clotting. However, these very same platelets when activated, release several proteins as well as growth factors which release stem cells, increasing collagen formation, skin-tightening and overall rejuvenation. Due to all these benefits, it is also called ‘Facial Stem Cell Regeneration’ therapy.

How is the vampire facelift done?

This cutting-edge rejuvenation treatment is a quick 20-30 minute procedure. A small amount of blood is drawn from the patient and placed in a sterile tube. Whilst the patient waits, it is spun down in a centrifuge at a pre-calculated speed for 5 to 10 minutes to separate the different components of the blood.

Red and white blood cells are divided from the platelets and the plasma (the clear fluid). This plasma now contains a higher than normal number of precious platelets, nearly fivefold. The separated platelets are then activated with calcium chloride, to release more growth factors.

Local anaesthesia is given and the platelet-rich plasma is injected into the appropriate areas with very small needles similar to those used in Botox injections.

Who should get it done?

The treatment is ideal for individuals looking for gradual but noticeable improvement in skin texture, tone and colour with minimal downtime. The results give you a fresher and healthier appearance.

It can be used on all skin types and colours. It helps eliminating skin wrinkles, rejuvenating the skin, improves the appearance in those with acne scarring, and hastens the healing process after a facial peel. It also appeals to patients who are looking for a natural approach to volumise the face.

Common areas where it is used include sun-damaged and prematurely aged skin on cheeks and mid-face, jaw line, sagging skin on the neck, back of the hands and décolletage.

For best results, up to three treatments, 4-8 weeks apart, with top ups at around 12 months are recommended. Improvement in the skin texture is noticeable within the first month while full collagen regeneration takes 3 months. The improvements continue over the next 12 months, as new collagen production continues to improve the overall appearance of the dermis. The effects last for a variable period ranging from 18 months to 2 years.

As smartphones become more integrated into our lives, there are applications being made for absolutely everything imaginable. One of these apps is designed to measure the supposed attractiveness of an individual based on things like symmetry of facial features and angles in the face but is this app just another example of a negative influence on people today? Will it create just more self esteem issues?

We know you don’t believe your mother when she tells you how beautiful you are. But would you believe a phone app?

And is that a good idea?

The Ugly Meter, an app that rates users’ attractiveness, shot up to the top of the list in the iPhone app store earlier this week, just behind Angry Birds.

While more than a dozen apps that operate on the same principle have been released in the last couple years – from “Fit or Fugly” to “FaceRate” – the Ugly Meter recently gained popularity because it was featured on Howard Stern’s Sirius radio show. The app has been a top seller in China for weeks. It costs 99 cents, but if you don’t want to pay for an ugliness app there’s also the Beauty Meter, which has been ranked highly by iTunes users, as well as Face Meter and Am I Ugly?

The Ugly Meter, whose tagline is “When your friends won’t tell you the truth, the Ugly Meter will,” works by scanning a user’s face and calculating the angles, symmetry, and proportions. It ranks user’s alleged ugliness on a scale of 1 to 10. Users who rank high on the scale earn disses from the program such as, “You could win a professional ugly contest.” Userswho rank low on the scale receive compliments such as, “You’re so sexy you make Athena jealous.”

Acne is a common skin condition that mostly affects adolescents and teens but is not exclusively limited to that age group. Many people have had acne so there are lots of information out there about it but it is imperative not to trust everything that you read. Here are eight common things that you’ve probably been told about acne that are completely false.

1. Acne is something that only happens to teenagers. Teens definitely do suffer from acne, but some people develop acne for the first time in their 20s or 30s. In fact, in Manhattan’s business districts, most patients treated for acne vulgaris are women between the ages of 20 and 45.

2. Acne occurs because your face is dirty. Many people feel like acne means their face is somehow unclean — but that’s just not true. The truth is, acne is a complex skin disorder that can’t be boiled down to simply “dirt.” It’s likely that the connection between the skin condition and dirt was made because blackheads are, well, black — but blackheads aren’t caused by dirt, either.

3. To relieve acne, scrub your face really hard. Remember, acne isn’t caused by dirt — so you can’t just wash it away. A cleanser with ingredients like benzoyl peroxide, salicyclic acid and sulfur compounds will help clear the skin, but it won’t clear it any faster if you scrub harder. Scrubbing acne too hard can actually inflame blackheads, so be sure to be nice to your skin.

5. Acne will go away on its own, so it doesn’t need to be treated. Sorry, this condition can’t be ignored. Doing nothing can even cause the condition to get worse. Mild, topical treatments — such as over-the-counter benzoyl peroxide — are best, and they’re especially effective if started early.

Especially in the summer months, you want to be outside and living it up but the sun can do some serious damage to your skin. But there are some really great methods that are available at Stellar Skin and Laser that can help you completely erase skin damage and make you look younger.

How to Erase Sun Damage

The summer sun can cause a lot of damage to the face, neck and body. It’s important to protect the skin by applying and reapplying sunscreen, wearing hats, and practicing other sun protection techniques. Staying hydrated is important for healthy skin as well.

Skin that gets too much sun can develop wrinkles, sun spots, and other serious skin health issues, including precancerous or cancerous lesions. While it’s best to avoid overexposure to the sun to prevent damage, there are treatments that can help minimize the signs of sun damage.

Erasing Summer Sun Damage

Chemical peels, Botox and dermal fillers, and microneedling can all reduce the appearance of sun damage and improve the skin’s overall texture, tone, and health.

Chemical Peels

Chemical peels exfoliate and rejuvenate the skin. As sun damage creates sun spots, chemical peels can help to correct uneven skin pigmentation. Exfoliated skin can look years younger than dry, sun damaged skin. Your skin is left looking smoother and brighter after just one chemical peel, but more dramatic results are seen after 3-6 peels. Our medical aestheticians are able to provide you with peel recommendations so you can reach your desired look.

Injectables

Wrinkles and fine lines are also a common signs of sun damage. Stellar Skin & Laser offers Botox and dermal filler injectables for smooth, younger looking skin. Derma-fillers and Botox are both quick, non-invasive processes that show results quickly. Botox shows results within a few days, and lasts roughly 3 months, depending on the area treated. Derma-fillers show results immediately, results typically last between 9 and 12 months, and the process can be repeated as needed by our physician assistant.

Your skin is such a huge part of you and the way that people perceive you. It is the largest organ on your body and is a reflection of how healthy you are inside. It is also your first defense against germs. But as we age it is harder and harder to love the amazing thing that is your skin. Here are some tips to help.

In addition to your daily skin care routine, spa facials and skin rejuvenating treatments, like chemical peels, dermaplaning and micro-needling, can keep your skin looking great no matter the season.

5 Tips to Loving Your Skin

Give your skin extra love and care by following these 5 tips:

Drink Lots of Water – Hydrating your body is one of the best things for your skin. If you tend to sweat a lot, it’s important to replenish the moisture in your body with quality H20. Drinking enough water throughout the day will help flush toxins from the body, making your skin healthy, clear, and glowing.

Moisturize – Find a moisturizer you love! This can take some extensive research, but we promise it’s worth the effort. If you are having trouble finding a moisturizer that works for you and your skin type, our medical spa professionals are happy to offer recommendations.

Schedule a Chemical Peel – Chemical peels are a great skin care treatment for exfoliating and rejuvenating the skin. Many people see smoother and brighter skin after just one treatment, but even greater results can be seen after 3-6 chemical peel treatments.

It is important to keep a healthy diet so that your skin reflects the health you have inside. But sometimes it can be very hard to find healthy foods and recipes that aren’t very expensive or incredibly hard to make. Here are a few recipes that can help rectify that. Be sure to share with the whole family!

Brussel sprouts are sometimes completely underrated as the super food with fantastic healing power that they are. Like we have said in previous blogs, the importance of diet cannot be overstated in how your skin looks and how you appear to age. It is also paramount to your overall health and wellness.

Brussels sprouts look like miniature cabbages and this doesn’t really comes as a surprise – they belong to the cruciferous gang of vegetables together with the likes of collard greens, kale, cauliflower, mustard greens, bok choi, radish and broccoli. Perhaps you have heard time and again that sulfur compounds in them that help in detoxifying your body as well as preventing the growth of cancer cells.

Many hate Brussels sprouts for their characteristic taste (which, by the way, can be kept to a minimum by having them oven-roasted) but you will surely love them after knowing the numerous health benefits they bring. The following are some of the reasons why you should serve more Brussels sprouts on the table:

They Help Strengthen the Bone

Brussels sprouts contain a couple of nutrients necessary for stronger and healthier bones. First, there’s calcium which is a mineral that everyone knows as very important for strengthening the bones. Second, there’s vitamin K which promotes better calcium absorption and minimizes the loss of the said mineral through the urine. Consume Brussels sprouts regularly to ward off fractures and osteoporosis, a condition wherein the bones become soft and brittle.

Brussels Sprouts Help Keep Your Eyes Healthy

Everyone knows that vitamin A is important for the eyes. However, there’s another nutrient that is very good at keeping your peepers healthy: vitamin C. This powerful antioxidant helps keep the eyes from being damaged by the sun’s UV radiation. Then there are also zeaxanthins in Brussels sprouts – super potent antioxidants that are said to help ward off the ill effects of macular degeneration, which is known as the leading cause of loss of vision among the elderly.

Eating Them Helps Prevent Inflammation

Inflammation is actually a good thing because it’s a sign that your body is actively defending you against invading microbes. However, it’s a different thing if it occurs for no reason. Inflammation is linked by the experts to a host of health nightmares such as diabetes, arthritis, obesity, heart disease and cancer. There are 3 things in Brussels sprouts that make these little round vegetables anti-inflammatory: glucosinolates (sulfur compounds), vitamin K and omega-3 fatty acids.

Regular Consumption Promotes a Healthy Digestive Tract

Every cup of Brussels sprouts pack about 4 grams of fiber, an indigestible type of carbohydrates that helps promote a healthy gut in more ways than one. Fiber helps in the regular sweeping out of waste products and prevents constipation. Experts say that fiber also promotes the growth of healthy bacteria in the intestinal tract. Eating fiber-rich Brussels sprouts contribute to the reduction of bad cholesterol levels in your blood too.

Brussels Sprouts Make You Look Younger

Vitamin C is an antioxidant that helps protect the skin cells from being damaged. It’s also necessary for the production of collagen, a structural type of protein that keeps fine lines and wrinkles from surfacing. You may think that the best sources of age-defying vitamin C are citrus fruits only. Did you know that a cup of Brussels sprouts contain as much as 75 milligrams of vitamin C? If you want to look younger sans undergoing the knife, include Brussels sprouts in your diet.

They Help Maintain a Healthy Cardiovascular System

Eating Brussels sprouts regularly is good for the heart. As mentioned earlier, these cruciferous vegetables help ward off inflammation which is linked to heart disease. Brussels sprouts are also packed with fiber that flushes out fat molecules before they get oxidized and end up as cholesterol deposited in the arterial walls.

Consuming Them Helps Detoxify Your Body

Headaches, fatigue, inability to focus, joint pains, bloating – all of these things and more could be signs that you got plenty of toxins within you. Including Brussels sprouts in your daily diet can help in neutralizing those impurities. These vegetables pack sulfur compounds that assist the body in getting rid of those accumulated toxins.

Brussels Sprouts May Considerably Lower Your Risk of Cancer

Everyone knows that cancer is a deadly disease. If hearing about it gives you cold sweats, make sure you eat sufficient amounts of Brussels sprouts to significantly reduce your risk of getting it. Glucosinolates these vegetables have plenty of is used by the body to produce isothiocyanates, compounds that activate body enzymes that fight off cancer cells.

…can cause a lot of problems! Since it is summer time, spiders are biting. This can be dangerous but most of the time it is an itchy irritation that can be hard to get rid of. It also isn’t very pleasant to look at. Check out these simple home remedies that can help your spider bites and make them a thing of the past.

Unless you are very certain that you were not bitten by a poisonous black widow, brown recluse or hobo spider, there is no need to panic. Most spider bites do not require you to rush to the nearest hospital to get an anti-venom shot. However, it doesn’t mean that a non-poisonous bite won’t cause pain and swelling because it’s very likely to cause these things!

There are numerous very effective home remedies for spider bites that can help provide relief from the various signs and symptoms. Before trying any one of them, it’s a good idea to immediately and thoroughly wash the bite area with soap and water to kill off bacteria and prevent getting the wound infected.

Wash the Area with Hydrogen Peroxide

Even if the spider that bit you isn’t venomous, you are still at risk of infection. It’s a good measure to wash the bitten area with hydrogen peroxide after having it cleansed with soap and water. You can have peace of mind when you know that the wound is completely free of bacteria that may cause an infection.

Place Chopped Up Cabbage on the Bite

Grab a fresh cabbage leaf and slice it up into very small pieces. Place them on the spider bite and secure in place with an elastic bandage. Do this just before you hit the sack to help deal with the swelling of the area while you are sleeping.

Cover the Wound with Activated Charcoal Paste

Activated charcoal is highly effective in neutralizing toxins, and it can help tremendously in keeping both infection and inflammation at bay. Simply add a few drops of water on some activated charcoal powder to come up with a paste. Daub the resulting black mixture on the bite marks. Repeat as necessary until complete healing is attained.

Smear the Bite with Baking Soda Paste

Fret not if you cannot get your hands on activated charcoal powder. That’s because there’s an alternative to it that is very likely to be already somewhere in your home: baking soda. Mixing baking soda and a few drops of water creates a paste that’s effective in relieving the pain and itchiness of a spider bite.

Kill Pain by Applying Aspirin Paste on the Bite

Rather than pop an aspirin in your mouth to help combat the pain associated with a spider bite, you may simply apply the drug directly on the area. All you have to do is crush a tablet and turn it into powder. Add a few drops of water, mix and apply the white paste to attain relief from pain.

Apply an Ice Pack or a Wet, Cold Piece of Cloth

Dealing with the inflammation of the bitten area is as easy as applying an ice pack on it for a few minutes several times daily. You may also dunk a small washcloth in cold water, wring the excess, and place over the wound.

Daub Turmeric and Olive Oil on the Wound

Turmeric powder not only makes a lot of dishes taste unforgettable, but it’s also very good at killing off bacteria and staving off an infection. You can come up with a microbe-fighting paste by adding a few drops of olive oil to turmeric powder. Simply daub the resulting thick mixture on the bite marks. Reapply as necessary for a speedier healing.

Cover the Bite Marks with Sea Salt

Sea salt has superb antibacterial properties. Sprinkling some of it on the bitten area can help in preventing an infection. Use an adhesive bandage to make sure that sea salt stays over the wound to work its magic.

Rub the Wound with a Clove of Garlic

Most home remedies for various skin conditions are very likely to include garlic. This doesn’t really come as a surprise as garlic possesses superb antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal properties. That is why rubbing a clove of garlic on the spider bite is an effective way to make sure that it’s not going to end up infected.

Ease the Pain with Fresh or Dried Basil Leaves

Grab a few pieces of fresh basil leaves, pound on them to extract the juice, and apply everything on the site of the spider bite. If you don’t have basil in your garden, head straight to the kitchen and grab the bottle of dried basil leaves in the spice rack. Add a few drops of water on some dried basil leaves, mix and place on the wound.

Even if there isn’t a special occasion like prom or a wedding, the desire is strong to look great. When your skin looks great, you feel great. Some of the common issues with skin is redness, darkness, sun damage, wrinkles and more. An IPL photo facial can help reverse some of these unpleasant side effects of aging.

IPL Photofacial (IPL stands for intense pulse light) is a non-ablative therapies which means that it does not harm or remove the upper layer of the skin. Instead, it focuses on deeper skin layers to promote new collagen production and small vessels such as capillaries to improve skin tone, smoothness and appearance

How Does IPL Photofacial Work?

If you’re still using a razor to remove unwanted body hair, it is time for an update. There are so many benefits associated with waxing over shaving that you should know about. Waxing at the end of the day is just more convenient and has better results so stop by Stellar Skin and Laser. We offer lip, brow, Brazilians, cheeks, legs, nose, ears, arms, underarms, Manzilians and bikini waxing services. Here are ten reasons why waxing is the way to go for hair removal.

1. You can’t cut yourself with wax

One of the main complaints with shaving is the fact that you are working with sharp razor blades and nicks are not uncommon. Cutting yourself is never desirable, but it can be even worse in certain areas, such as the neck, under the arms and in the groin area. You run the risk of infection if you cut yourself while shaving. If you use your blades several times, it can increase the risk of inflammation and harmful bacteria. Moreover, cuts take a long time to heal and you might feel discomfort for quite a long period of time. Plus, they look unaesthetic and you’ll have to wear a long skirt and jeans in summer, waiting for your imperfections to disappear.

When you opt for waxing, you can forget about those painful cuts. While this hair removal method is a little bit painful, you won’t feel any pain in a few procedures. The slight irritation and redness will disappear the next day and you will enjoy your smooth and flawless legs for over 3 weeks! However, don’t wax any part of your body at home, as you can burn your skin.

2. Waxing lasts longer.

Since wax pulls the hair out by the root, it takes much longer for it to grow back. Even if you usually have to shave every day to keep growth down, waxing will give you up to two weeks of bare skin. This is also better for your skin, since it can become very irritated when you shave on a daily basis.

3. Hair Grows Back Thinner

A big advantage of waxing is that hair comes back thinner and lighter than it does with shaving. If you continue with the hair removal method long enough, you will eventually have barely noticeable hair in areas that have been waxed. The point is that constant waxing makes your hair follicles weaker and less viable. Where shaving can give the appearance of thicker hair, due to the blunt ends of the hair shaft, waxing has the opposite effect.

One of the disadvantages of waxing is that you should wait until your hair is long enough to wax. It’s recommended to let the hair grow to at least ¼ inch so that the wax can grab the hair and pull it out.
